Updated to support Android 13
Found some time to update TravelTales for Android. Android 13 / API level 33 is now supported.
2003-2023:
Closing support of TravelTales...
Eos-Consult has been closed and thus the support for TravelTales has also stopped. TravelTales has been a fun spare-time project, but the requirements from Google (Android) and Apple (iPhone) has made it impossible to continue running TravelTales as a spare-time project. It has been fun from the beginning in 2010 until now where Denmark has been covered with vivid journeys. The TravelTales app stays in AppStore and Google Play, but it will gradually stop working (or not be installable) in new phone models. Thanks to all of you who tried a vivid TravelTales journey - I hope you have had fun! :-)

TravelTales events:
TravelTales is to be used at the youth training in Herning Orienteering association at the 27th of November 2012 in Herning City.

2609-2012:
The work on supporting the iPhone platform progresses according to schedule. The first version, however, will be a dedicated app, where the sound files for the journey is embedded in the app.
Thus it will not be possible to move your own files to the iPhone, like it is possible with the Symbian and Android platforms. This is mainly due to the restrictive access to the filesystem in the iPhone platform.
For both iPhone and Android the work will continue in order to implement a server solution where the journeys can be downloaded directly from the TravelTales app through the internet. This will ease the task for the user when fetching new journeys.
R3.0 with iPhone support is expected to be finished in the end of October, where 'The Big Gold Robbery' will be the first vivid journey to be available for this platform.
R3.1 with server support for the two platforms is expected early next year.
